Emil Shares His Timon and Pumbaa Tattoos

Back at the end of July, I met Emil in Penn Station. He shared these two tattoos from his left arm:

These are the characters Pumbaa (top) and Timon (bottom) from the Disney animated film The Lion King.Timon is a meerkat and Pumbaa is a warthog, and both were the characters providing comic relief in the film.
"Why did you get Timon and Pumbaa?" I asked.

"They are my idols," he told me.

Emil credited an artist named Richard Holm at Magic Man Tattoo and Art in Skövde, Sweden. Believe it or not, these are not the first tattoos we've come across from Magic Man Tattoo. A piece was featured previously here, back in 2009.
